contents We reveal the effect of the spacetime parameters on the accretion morphology formed through the BHL mechanism around a slowly rotating disformal Kerr black hole. Thus, we investigate the measurable signatures of these parameters on the hydrodynamical morphology and the timing behavior of the accreting flow. It is shown that even weak disformal deviations from the Kerr solution modify the shock-cone structure, enhance the density in the post-shock region, and produce coherent oscillations in the accretion rate. The Kerr model produces coherent peaks at 42.99 Hz and 68.13 Hz, and these frequencies are consistent with the high-frequency QPOs observed from the source GRS 1915+105. In the models where the deviations from the Kerr solution are weak, low-frequency QPOs are produced and found to be coherent. These frequencies also fall within the frequency range observed in Galactic black-hole binaries. On the other hand, the models with large deviations from Kerr can be used to explain observational results that are more irregular, broad-band, and contain multiple peaks. In addition, by using inverse-mass scaling in this work, the numerically calculated frequencies are also compared with observations of intermediate-mass and supermassive black holes. In particular, the disformal black-hole models are found to be consistent with the observational results obtained from the sources M82 X-1, NGC 5408 X-1, and RE J1034+396. This comparison also allows the possible black-hole mass range of observed sources to be inferred from the relation between simulated and observed frequencies. This makes BHL accretion in disformal Kerr geometry a powerful framework for connecting modified-gravity black-hole spacetimes with observable QPO phenomenology.
